Last week’s article, “Smoke and Mirrors: A Look Into Capitalist Driven Social Movements, From Cigarettes To Body Positivity,” centered around the mechanisms of Edward Bernays, a brilliant public relations pioneer, to get women to smoke Lucky Strike cigarettes. But, while Bernays certainly succeeded in his mission, there was a slight hiccup in his plans that didn’t make it into last week’s piece.
Terrific piece.
